concerns and feelings, but for his rela.
tons as n public man representing prom
inently n political party in one of its
great strongholds 1t is fair inference
that in these COMMUNICATIONS Mr.. Hewitt
voiced the sentiment of those most inti-
mate with him in political and official
councils. He would hardly have ven
tured to make them without knowledge
that they would give no offcnse to the
convictions of those whose confidence he
is chiefly concerned 10 possess. What
conclusion must the workingmen of New
York and the country inevitably derive
from the demonstration of antagonism in
this quarter9 Can they have any faith
in the democratic pretense of friendliness
when one Of the foremost leaders of de-
mocracy, occupying position of power
and influence, seeks to strengthen and
stimulate opposition to them by charging
upon them the whole responsibility for
the disturbance and losses of business?
Mr. Hewitt may represent only an ele.
ment of the democratic party, but ii is u
very considerable and very influential
element. Ii is now the most powerful in
the councils of the party at Washington.

The Judiciary JuggIe.


The judiciary committee OF the house
closed doors to consider the Omaha
charter. Why the committee should
hold star chamber council over a bill
that was referred to 1t on its legal and
constitutional bearings, nobody can ex-
plain. The reporters of papers that have
opposed the charter profess to know just
what was done inside the committee room
and from them we gather that several
amendments have been almost unani-
mously agreed on. These amendments do
not in any way seem to have any bearing
upon the points which this committee was
created to pass upon. They have, 1t is
reported, decided to recommend re-
duction in the aggregate area of our
city from thirty to twenty-five square
miles. They will recommend that the
power of the city to secure parks shall
not extend outside of the county limits
and by their abolition of the proposed
board of public works they propose to
break up the park commission and pre-
vent the creation of boulcvards and
parks around the city for the next two
years. They have inserted a new rail
road taxation clause which was drafted
in great hurry and is known to be
defective on the points which the dele
cation and citizens agreed 10 incorporate.
They have substituted the printing clause
originally drawn by the charter commit
tee under MIR. Poppleton's splteful dicta-
ton. This bit OF judicial committee jug

by men who have lived here from fifteen
to twenty-five years.

decency9 Omaha has delegation

constituents. She pays one e.tenth of the
entire state taxes on property within
her limits. Does the legislature propose
to run rough-shod over the representa-
tives of the leading city and permit a
committee of nonresident lawyers to
make themselves merry over tearing up
her cha9ers Why should the members

We are asked to state when and where
there has been any crookedness or bad
work by the contractors ring, which
seeks to defeat the charter and wants to
control the next mayor, council and
board of public works. We will cheer
fully respond to the request. There was
something very crooked in the peculiar
relations between Con Gallagher, as
clerk of the board, and Con Gallagher,
the partner of contractors for the Far
nam street improvement. There has
been mysterious method, to call it
by mild name, in the letting of
the contracts for paving, curbing and
guttering this year. MIR. Gallagher drew
up his own contracts and accidentally,
as it were, they contained an allowance
for extras which other bidders could
never have secured on a fair and square
deal. There was bad work and wretched
material in the Farnam street pavement
between Ninth and Fifteenth, laid by
Murphy & Co. In any other city half of
the paving stone would have been
rejected as rough and i'll sized.
AS the result of this rough
pavement CdTutll slIccI CIOSSllSS
had to be relaid with other material and
the street itself is almost too rough for
wagon travel. After taxing the property
owners thousands and thousands of dol
lars the pavement will have to be relaid
and the rough stones cast out within a
very short time. The same contractors
have forced upon our people, by all sorts
of misrepresentation, miles upon miles Of
wooden pavement which will be worthless
within a very few years. Complaints
are already coming in about the
wretchedly uneven laying of this pave
mcnt. and the spring thaws will show
what we have for our money. The con-
tractors have found this sort of thing
very profitable and would like to have it
continued for few years longer They
have had their own way with the board
and inspectors so long that they actually
have the arrogance now to dictate that
the charter should be made for their ben
eft alone

The action of the state senate on the
railroad bill presented by MIR. Sterling as
substitute for the railroad bill which
the house had passed ten days ago vir-
tually decides the fate of all railroad
regulation bills for this session. II any
further evidence were wanting that the
railroads have absolute control of ma
jority Of the senate il has now been fur
nished. 1t is needless to point out the
methods by which this was done.
Every honest man in Nebraska believes
and knows that improper means have
been used to subvert the will OF
the people. This is the third legislature
elected on pledges of railway regulation
which goes.into history branded with a
base betrayal of the peoples trust 1t is
not matter of party or locality. Party
pledges have proven rope of sand and
no locality approves the surrender to
railway domination by its chosen repre-
sentatiyes. Two years age when the
proposition to create 4 railway commits
sion was submitted to the people 1t was
voted down by two-thirds majority.
In defiance of this popular decree, the
railroad bosses marched boldly upon the
floors of both houses of the legis-
lature and forced upon the state
an abortion which the Dco-
pie had only two months before
rejected. The fact that no man who had
helped to put through this piece of Jug
glery has been held TO answer for his
criminal interference by any court and
g,o tl H., ,rt,1 cp1I ha
people have gone scot free is responsible
for what has happened again. Tue work
of the railroad lobby this winter has been
more open and more criminal because
men who engage in this outlaw work are
not afraid of the penitentiary and in real
ity are not likely to stand any the worse
IN what nowadays is called good society.
Getting high salaries from n
corporation makes men hon
able, even when their business
Is no more reputable and lawful than
that of the burglar and pickpocket
The new railroad bill which majority
of the senate has foisted upon that body
a. the dictates of the railroad attorneys
only adds insult to injury. The Sterling
substitute, while not all that the people
would wish, had this merit in it. The
bill lowered the present exorbitant local
rates fraction, and prohibited all the
known abuses that beget determination
against people and places. While con-
ceding to the railroads the commission
feature it had Il redeeming quality IN the
reduction of rates and prohibition of
higher rates than those established in the
bill. The mongrel railway bill which
| the railroads have ordered their servants
in the legislature to pass is an impudent
and baiefaced sham. 1t continues the
railroad commission without limiting any
of the abuses from which relief is sought.
Now that it has become a tixeo fact that
we are to have no railroad regulation eX-
| cept such rs is ordered by the monopoly
managers, the legislature had better face
about, stop wasting money and time, kill
off all jobs and steals and adjourn as soon
| as possible. 1t is bad enough that the
people haye been disappointed and sold
out. They will have all they can do for the
next two years to pay their tax bills and
interest on mortgages.

Hewit,'s Hostility Labor.

Mayor Hewitt, of New York, who was
elected as the pronounced opponent of
the labor candidate. seems disposed to
tility to labor movements, as if to reas-
sure those who elected him that they
made no mistake in their choice. In his
letter read at the dinner of the board of
trade and transportation on last Monday
evening he dwelt upon the alleged par
alysis of business resulting from the late
strikes, and characterized the action of
the men who directed the strike as a
usurpation of power which it is the duty
of the business community to resist at
whatever sacrifice of time, m oney and eff
fort may be needed. 1t transpires that
Hewitt sent letter to be read at a ban
quet of the Brooklyn democratic club on
Tuesday evening IN which he deplored
the fact that certain democratic leaders
had pandered to the labor vote, the ref
erence evidently being to Hill. After de-
liberation and the refusal of the gov
ernor to attend the dinner if the letter
was read, it was decided to suppress it,
aud only the spirit of this contribution of
one of the leading democrats OF the coun-
try to the enemies of labor will ever be-
come matter of public knowledge.
MIR. Hewitt is several times a
millionaire. and for that rea-
son cannot perhaps be expected
to have much sympathy with the
struggles of labor to better its condition,
but IN considering these public utterancss

nThc Mutual Reneyolent. y

OMAHA, Feb. 23-To the Editor of the
BEE: have read with Il good deal of in
terest your fearless expose of that noto
rious soap bubble" the Western Mu
tual Benevolent (?) association, of Be-
atrice, and its capital stock. viii you
permit me to say few words about the
capital stock? What Is it for? TO com
ply with the statutes of the state, which
provide that any life insurance company
organized in this state shall have paid
up capital of 100000, securities for this
amount must be on deposit with the
state auditor. But this law was not
passed for such concern as this. This
mushroom is not an insurance COM
pany. They do not pretend to insure;
they do not issue policies of insurance,
only certificates of membership.
They promise nothing in their
act as kind of collecting
agency,-to solicit aid for the benefit
of the family of the deceased-that is, to
pass the hat around and let the rest of
them chip in. The amount thus Clipped
in is what they promise to pay over to
the family of the deceased, and not one
cent more. There is but one sure thing
in the whole policy or certificate, that is is
amount 1t reads: "They promise, etc,
to pay, ETC., a sum not exceeding $5000,"
or whatever the maximum amount may
be. The maximum amount is printed in
large display letters, while the preceding
words, mot exceeding" are inserted IN
small type, and never referred to by their
agents. 1t will be seen that it is not diff
ticult to comply with such a contract. If
the 500, 900 so.called securities or deposit
with the auditor were all in twenty-dol-
lar gold pieces, and if the beneficlarIes of
those who suppose themselves insured
in that benevolent concern don't go over
fifty cents as death loss they could not
touch one dollar Of tho company's secnr,
ity or capital, as the contract or certif-
cate does not say how little the associa-
ton may pay. II only provides for a
maximum, not minimum, amount. Is 1t
not strange that an intelligent people
will allow themselves to be humbugged
by such swindle, particularly when the
history of the past is covered with the
wrecks of such impositions? There are
histories of over 1900 dead cooperative
or assessment insurance associations in
the United States within the last twenty
years, and 1 challenge the benevolent
Mr.. .sabin to give me the name OF one
that lived dozen years doing business
on the basis that his concern does. They
call it "mutual," 4" ana advertise a paid-up
capital of $4,000 How can il be mu-
tual and still have stockholders Great
American mutual life insurance com
panies have no capital stock. They are
mutual, and such swindles as Mr.. Sabin
is managing have simply, stolen their
names. JOHN oTEEL.

The French government has ordered

The silk and velvet manufacturers in Ger

Mayo is the day fixed for competitive test
of brakes to be used on cars. There are

is so heavy that a large number have been
stimulated TO enter upon the contest.
Natural gas has been compelling coal pro-
ducers in the natural gas region to crowd
their coal into western markets, and this
has resulted in reducing the output of Hi
nois coal during 1886 to the extent of 100000
TONS The seams there are low, and the cost
of mining is high.
II is rumored that several large European
silk manufacturers are about to establish fac
tories at Paterson, N. j. Several silk mills
are running on short time, anticipating a
total shut down for lack of material. The
Western Silk association met in st. Louis
and found the industry in healthy condi-
ton.
Natural gas has taken the place of coal in
10000 houses in Pittsburg and Allegheny
City. About $50, 600 cubic feet of gas are
brought to those cities daily. taking the place
of about 200, 900, 600 bushels of coal. Profes-
sor Leslie declares that natural gas Is q van

The magnificent reception which
Omaha has given to the peerless queen
of song, Adelina Patti, surprised even
the most sanguine admirers of the great
est prima donna of the age. 1t was an
ovation which the great artist herself
cannot fail to appreciate and always re-
member. In point of num-
bers and receipts it was
the best house to which Patti has sung
during her present American tour
Omaha in this instance has demonstrated
that she ranks among the foremost Amer
lean cities in the love of music and high
art. The cordial greeting extended to
Adelina Patti will eyer rebound to the
credit OF this city. 1t affords striking
proof that the worlds greatest artists can
rely upon the most liberal patronage in
this rising metropolis of the great west.
